About Me
I am currently working at Huawei as a research Principle Engineer in RAN Research Department II.
My work is primarily focused on the standardization for 3GPP Release 20/21 physical layer MIMO air interface technologies, which mainly include the evolution of the following key components:
- Sounding Reference Signals (SRS) ☘️
- Channel State Information Reference Signals (CSI-RS) ☘️
- Codebook Framework Design ☘️
- PMI (Precoding Matrix Indicator) Feedback Mechanisms ☘️
In addition to my technical responsibilities, I also serve as the Technical Leader for exploratory projects in the following emerging areas:
- AI-assisted Integration for Uplink and Downlink Channels ❤️
- Movable-Antenna Architecture Technologies ❤️
- Ultra-Massive MIMO Full-Connected Hybrid Beamforming Technologies ❤️
- Radio Profile-Assisted Communication Technologies ❤️
At Huawei, I focused on the technology research and standardization of MIMO for 5G Advanced and 6G, which enabled me to accumulate substantial experience in translating academic knowledge into industrial applications. I actively keep pace with the latest advancements in academic research, particularly in areas such as terahertz communications, ultra-massive MIMO, movable antenna systems, intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS), and integrated sensing and communication (ISAC).

Personal Experience
I graduated from Yingcai Honors College (英才实验学院), University of Electronic and Technology of China (UESTC, 电子科技大学), with a Bachelor’s degree in 2018 and from the National Key Laboratory of Wireless Communications (通信抗干扰全国重点实验室), UESTC, with a Ph.D in 2023, supervised by Zhi Chen (陈智). In 2018, I visited Lady Margaret Hall (玛格丽特夫人学院) at the University of Oxford (牛津大学) as an Exchange Student and worked on the Heavy Goods Vehicles Project. During the latter half of 2021, I worked as an Intern at Huawei’s 2012 Wireless Communication Laboratory (华为2012无线通信实验室), focusing on MU-MIMO beamforming research. From 2022 to 2023, I was a Visiting Scholar with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (电气与计算机工程系), National University of Singapore (新加坡国立大学), supervised by Rui Zhang (张瑞). From 2023 to now, I am a research Principal Engineer with the Huawei RAN Research Department II (无线网络系统技术研究二部), Chengdu, China.
Over the research period, I have made significant contributions to IEEE ComSoc, with over 50 top-tier IEEE journal and conference papers published (including 20 as the first author). These publications span prestigious journals such as IEEE JSAC, IEEE WCM, IEEE TWC, IEEE TCOM, IEEE IoT, IEEE TVT, IEEE WCL, and IEEE CL, as well as renowned conferences like IEEE GLOBECOM, IEEE ICC, IEEE ICASSP, and IEEE WNCN. Additionally, I have secured over 30 national patents and co-authored 1 book. My expertise has been internationally recognized with 3 ESI highly cited paper, 1 IEEE featured journal article, and 10 IEEE popular papers.
In 2022, I was honored to be funded by the China Scholarship Council (CSC) for a visiting PhD in the National University of Singapore. Meanwhile, I was awarded the National Scholarship for Ph.D (the highest academic honor for Ph.D students in China). I won the election for UESTC Top 10 Outstanding Students (the highest comprehensive honor for students in UESTC). In 2023, I won the election for Huawei’s Top Minds (the highest recruitment honor for graduates to Huawei). I won the Outstanding Graduate Award from the Sichuan Provincial Department of Education. In 2024, I was a recipient of the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award from the China Education Society of Electronics (20 individuals nationwide each year). I was a honored to be a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship funded by European Commission.
